A prospective study of the prevalence of gall stones at necropsy in nine towns in England and Wales showed considerable geographical variations. The age- and sex-standardised prevalence ranged from 20.6% in Ipswich to 9.2% in Wakefield. The distribution of gall stones differed from that of all-cause mortality and was negatively correlated with that of mortality from ischaemic heart disease. Socioeconomic influences related to affluence do not appear to be major determinants of the distribution of gall stones.
一项针对英格兰和威尔士九个城镇尸检时胆结石患病率的前瞻性研究显示出显著的地理差异。年龄和性别标准化患病率从伊普斯威奇的20.6%到韦克菲尔德的9.2%不等。胆结石的分布与全因死亡率不同,且与缺血性心脏病死亡率呈负相关。与富裕程度相关的社会经济影响似乎不是胆结石分布的主要决定因素。
